WHY STANDARDS????
 Standards are essential for all human activity
 But most people take them for granted

GENERAL OPINION OF PEOPLE ABOUT
STANDARD
 More constraints
 More things to comply with
 More cost
 Excludes my products from other markets
 Stifles innovation

BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS
 National Standards Body of India
 Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) took over work of Indian Standards Institution (ISI) through enactment of BIS Act (1986) by the
Indian Parliament
 ISI was set up in Jan 1947 by a resolution of the
Parliament

NEED FOR STANDARDS ON LED
 Widespread demand from all stake holders
 Prospect for huge energy saving – potential mass use of LED products
 Availability of wide varieties in market place visà -vis cost
 Need to define quality characteristics
 Need for quality monitoring.
 Power Quality Issues

ADVANTAGES OF LED
 Green technology
 Long source life (light output degrades 25-30 % after 11 years of continuous operation
 High lumen efficiency
 Low maintenance
 No moving parts
 Low power consumption
 Little heat; no radiated heat from light
 Natural coupling for digital control
 Non-insect attracting
 Fast response

PROBLEMS FACED BY LED INDUSTRY
 Some low quality product in market affecting confidence of users
 Unsubstantiated and inaccurate quality claims
 Lack of confidence of designers on SSL products
 Inadequate information on product performance
 Very high initial cost
 Lack of awareness among channel members/consumers

COMPLEXITY OF STANDARD FORMULATION
ON LED
 LED technology has not yet been stabilized
 Advancement taking place at breakneck pace
 Reduction in Span of Product lifecycle
 Any standards developed, by that time technology make it inadequate
 Standard development process has to keep pace with technology development
 Laboratories will have to make provision for such change

COMPLEXITY OF STANDARD FORMULATION
ON LED
 What’s the average rated lamp life for LEDs?
 Do LEDs really operate for 100,000 hours?
 How do we test and predict life of LED?

CHALLENGES IN LED STANDARDS MAKING


Life - LED has a long rated life – up to 50000 hr or more. Even with 24X7 operation, testing of led would take 5.7 years (for 50 khr)
Concept of “Useful life” introduced in the standard – depreciation up to 70% of initial lumen


An accelerated life test for 2000 hr has been introduced
Eye Safety – High-powered LEDs(multi-chip LED arrays) can cause thermal heating effect which can damage tissues in retina
